Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed to take part in this challenge.
We will be aiming to complete the challenge in five – six hours, however we will always walk at the speed of the person at the back.
We can’t predict the weather, so let’s hope for the best but prepare for all scenarios! Lots of layers allow you to find a comfortable temperature throughout the walk; a technical top, fleece, and lightweight waterproof are good go-to items.
Most importantly, make sure you have some sensible footwear – a pair of walking shoes you’re worn comfortably before, with good grip to tackle the terrain.
For this challenge you must be 12+ and anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
